Hello and sorry for the OT,

Is it possible for a wireless headset of which the base is connected to
a Polycom IP601 to remotely answer a call? In the same way as a
bluetooth headset.

thanks,

Some of the polycom phones support this with a specific firmware and
Plantronics headset.

Read the polycom SIP release notes/changelog for details....

A long time ago, I used to have a desktop support role. I had a
Plantronics wireless headset that actually had a transmitter, and an
arm controlled by a servo that would lift the handset out of the
cradle. It was crude, but worked great.

I am sure there are much better integrated solutions now though.

Thanks,

They still make them. We use the CS70N with HL10 (headset lifter). They
are around $300 with the lifter, so they aren't cheap, but they work
well. The lifter fits on a Cisco 79xx phone pretty easily, but anything
else requires a little extra tape and some experimentation.

Lately I've been offering these stuff to a customer; a valid solution is
the one provided by Jabra with their DECT headset (see
http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/UK-UK/products/Pages/JabraGN9330.aspx )
and a "electronic lifter" as the one for the Snom phones here (
http://www.snom.com/en/adapter0.html ) that can make the headset answer
remotely (otherwise you should press the "headset" button on your device).

If you want to avoid a mecanical lifter, the only option I know of is a
Jabra GN9350 with a Polycom EHS (electronic hookswitch) cable.

It came out only a month ago I believe. I use one, and wouldn't give it up
for the world.
